Greeley attacks and internal political scandal amid portland speech
A flawed mix of political hostility and scandal surrounds Horace Greeley and the Greeley ticket. Reports claim the Tammany Ring stole city funds, Dolittle conspired with an Internal Revenue inspector over cotton seizures, and attacks on Judge Parks persist as debates heat up. A New Hampshire and Connecticut claim by Dolittle is denied. Rannua notes Tod Caldwell’s 1870 election impact.
